| gartner data security posture management: Data Protection from Insider Threats Elisa Bertino, 2012-06-01 As data represent a key asset for today's organizations, the problem of how to protect this data from theft and misuse is at the forefront of these organizations' minds. Even though today several data security techniques are available to protect data and computing infrastructures, many such techniques -- such as firewalls and network security tools -- are unable to protect data from attacks posed by those working on an organization's inside. These insiders usually have authorized access to relevant information systems, making it extremely challenging to block the misuse of information while still allowing them to do their jobs. This book discusses several techniques that can provide effective protection against attacks posed by people working on the inside of an organization. Chapter One introduces the notion of insider threat and reports some data about data breaches due to insider threats. Chapter Two covers authentication and access control techniques, and Chapter Three shows how these general security techniques can be extended and used in the context of protection from insider threats. Chapter Four addresses anomaly detection techniques that are used to determine anomalies in data accesses by insiders. These anomalies are often indicative of potential insider data attacks and therefore play an important role in protection from these attacks. Security information and event management (SIEM) tools and fine-grained auditing are discussed in Chapter Five. These tools aim at collecting, analyzing, and correlating -- in real-time -- any information and event that may be relevant for the security of an organization. As such, they can be a key element in finding a solution to such undesirable insider threats. Chapter Six goes on to provide a survey of techniques for separation-of-duty (SoD). SoD is an important principle that, when implemented in systems and tools, can strengthen data protection from malicious insiders. However, to date, very few approaches have been proposed for implementing SoD in systems. In Chapter Seven, a short survey of a commercial product is presented, which provides different techniques for protection from malicious users with system privileges -- such as a DBA in database management systems. Finally, in Chapter Eight, the book concludes with a few remarks and additional research directions.

| gartner data security posture management: Cybersecurity - It's Not All About Technology: Navigating the Unknown of Cybersecurity, GRC, and AI to Achieve Efficiency, Security, and Increase Revenue Dasha Davies, Most executives say they care about cybersecurity. If that's true, why do we still see so many breaches? And why do data breaches increase every year? Yes, hackers are getting more creative, but security technology is also getting smarter, better, and faster. So what are we missing? In my over 25-year career in cybersecurity, I have noticed a few patterns: The belief that cybersecurity is mostly about technology An overwhelming number of great technology gadgets and pressure to choose the best one Excellent product marketing that promises to solve all or many of our security problems Limited resources, know-how, time, and budget Lack of consideration/implementation of GRC (Governance, Risk, Compliance) Reliance on the IT and security team or your MSP to make everything secure. The complexity and not knowing where to start Yes, it is a puzzle of technology, people, processes, governance, risk, compliance, standards, industry, and legal requirements—no matter what industry you are in, what country you operate in, or where your clients are located. This book is designed to help you understand: What else may I be missing? Why GRC is so important and how to easily implement it How to minimize my AI risks and leverage the opportunities it offers What questions should I ask my internal team and suppliers to understand the gaps and risks? How do we perform internal security, risk, and compliance checks? As a business owner myself, I understand the desire to protect and grow your business. While you are focusing on growth, service, and product delivery, managing your staff, and ensuring your IT is operational, this book will show you areas that you may not have paid enough attention to. These areas are equally important for your business protection and growth. This book will show you how to leverage security, GRC, and AI to your benefit to grow, increase customer trust and confidence, and set yourself apart from the competition. This is the book that will help you put the puzzle together.

| gartner data security posture management: Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses Karen Walsh, 2023-08-17 Organizations of all sizes struggle to secure their data in a constantly evolving digital landscape. Expanding digital footprints and the rapid expansion of cloud strategies arising from the COVID-19 pandemic increase an organization’s attack surface. When combined with limited resources caused by the cybersecurity skills gap, securing small and mid-sized business IT infrastructures becomes more complicated. With limited staffing and budgetary restrictions, small businesses need to create cost-effective, security-driven programs that protect data while also meeting increasingly stringent compliance requirements. This book bridges the gap between complex technical language and business objectives to create a security-first review of the security and compliance landscapes. Starting from the premise that “with security comes compliance,” this book starts by defining “security-first” and then walking readers through the process of creating a holistic security and compliance program. Looking at security and privacy through the lens of zero trust, this overview of regulations and industry standards provides both background about and implications drawn from modern security practices.

| gartner data security posture management: Embracing Risk Mingyan Liu, 2022-06-01 This book provides an introduction to the theory and practice of cyber insurance. Insurance as an economic instrument designed for risk management through risk spreading has existed for centuries. Cyber insurance is one of the newest sub-categories of this old instrument. It emerged in the 1990s in response to an increasing impact that information security started to have on business operations. For much of its existence, the practice of cyber insurance has been on how to obtain accurate actuarial information to inform specifics of a cyber insurance contract. As the cybersecurity threat landscape continues to bring about novel forms of attacks and losses, ransomware insurance being the latest example, the insurance practice is also evolving in terms of what types of losses are covered, what are excluded, and how cyber insurance intersects with traditional casualty and property insurance. The central focus, however, has continued to be risk management through risk transfer, the key functionality of insurance. The goal of this book is to shift the focus from this conventional view of using insurance as primarily a risk management mechanism to one of risk control and reduction by looking for ways to re-align the incentives. On this front we have encouraging results that suggest the validity of using insurance as an effective economic and incentive tool to control cyber risk. This book is intended for someone interested in obtaining a quantitative understanding of cyber insurance and how innovation is possible around this centuries-old financial instrument. |
| gartner data security posture management: Diving into Secure Access Service Edge Jeremiah Ginn, David H. Brown, 2022-11-11 Implement Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) for secure network and application communications, exploring SASE services including SD-WAN, ZTF, and more with expert Jeremiah Ginn who helps CxO leaders achieve SASE success Key FeaturesMerge networking and security services into a single architecture to simplify network infrastructureExplore how zero trust network access (ZTNA) restricts access to provide native application segmentationFocus on a native, multitenant cloud architecture that scales dynamically with demandBook Description The SASE concept was coined by Gartner after seeing a pattern emerge in cloud and SD-WAN projects where full security integration was needed. The market behavior lately has sparked something like a space race for all technology manufacturers and cloud service providers to offer a SASE solution. The current training available in the market is minimal and manufacturer-oriented, with new services being released every few weeks. Professional architects and engineers trying to implement SASE need to take a manufacturer-neutral approach. This guide provides a foundation for understanding SASE, but it also has a lasting impact because it not only addresses the problems that existed at the time of publication, but also provides a continual learning approach to successfully lead in a market that evolves every few weeks. Technology teams need a tool that provides a model to keep up with new information as it becomes available and stay ahead of market hype. With this book, you'll learn about crucial models for SASE success in designing, building, deploying, and supporting operations to ensure the most positive user experience (UX). In addition to SASE, you'll gain insight into SD-WAN design, DevOps, zero trust, and next-generation technical education methods. What you will learnDevelop a comprehensive understanding of SASE from a market and technical perspectiveUnderstand SASE services and components included in SASE solutionsMove logically from prescriptive design to policy-based design and orchestrationUnderstand standard SASE use cases and how to integrate future componentsConvert from a legacy network design model to a secure DevOps model for future projectsUse a functional design overlay to eliminate inter-service competition for the control plane of the SASE serviceWho this book is for This book is for technology and security leaders and specifically for any CTO, CSO, CISO, or CIO looking for an executive approach to SASE for their organization. Anyone implementing SD-WAN, SASE, and SASE services for cloud, network, and security infrastructure will also find this book helpful. |
